Siri dictation throws in extra words that I am not saying

I continuously get the word “catcher” in many of my Siri dictation’s, but now it is happening when I put the cursor in the text box but haven’t even opened my mouth yet or entered one word. The word catcher just appears. Anyone know how to get rid of this?

This is me typing with my tremor insteadzcc of using dictation. With the third csall I made to Apple, the rep and I discussed the Apple Community threasad. She took time to look at it and come back on the line to say thhat Apple IT should know of a problesm of this magnituude but were likely still trying to resolve it. I mention the thread link and the case nuumber evefrytime I speak weithw a different rep. I feel it is important to do so.

It appears like Tourette’s Syndrome to me. 😉

Your view that she is asserting her independence is a much more positive one. If so it would be a pretty adolescent expression of development. The operating system should evolve and improve our dictation rather than mess it up. 🙄😉

By the way, on a serious note, I don’t use Siri to dictate. This weird phenomenon shows up when I dictate through the microphone. If you like to trip on the idea of operating systems evolving there’s a movie I loved about that called “Her”.

Hey, everyone ... I don’t want to jinx anything but I have not noticed the extra words in a few days now. I’m wondering if it might be fixed? I have purposely tried pausing while I dictate and everything seems fine now. Does anyone else feel like it’s better for them?

I have been having the disappearing paragraph problem. Apple's implementation of voice recognition is such crap, relying on the internet and trying to learn as you keep speaking - changing words back and forth and back again, you never know when it will stop. How can it delete everything you speak, most of which is fine, and then you have to hope it all comes back again.

It has been about three weeks since I experienced "catch" problem. THANK YOU Good Bernie and all who helped bring this issue to Apple! So glad the problem is no longer arising and hope this issue will remain "fixed". Please all accept my gratitude. <3

Mine just adds words at random AND when I am in a text conversation it will completely eff up my text when i have incoming texts. Only in the last 6 months. The speech to text is already bad enough. This makes it worse. Thanks, Apple. Very frustrating and as usual I feel that Apple could not care less. Google and Amazon almost never screw up with speech. Apple... almost always.

Yep I’m having the same issue

Happens to me on wi-fi all the time :-(

This started happening to me too in the last couple of weeks. Never saw it before. Granted my iPhone 5S is older than dirt but it happens particularly when I use Facebook.

This is clearly an issue. Is Apple going to respond?
